Night Time – Wyoming, Frank Tenney Johnson, c. 1910
Dee
Somewhere out on the Wyoming sagebrush plain, thousands of Americans once faced decisions that could change the course of their lives.
At a place called Parting of the Ways, pioneers traveling west by wagon had a decision to make. Stay on the established route or travel on a riskier shortcut across miles of dry desert with little water and no guarantees.

Imagine the conversations that happened here.
Families stood here. Friends said goodbye here. Some likely never saw each other again.
Today, Parting of the Ways is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and protected on public lands managed by

L.A. woman finds 20 sticks of dynamite in freezer, prompting evacuations
The replicas of the Obama presidential center look like what a chess player would need to resort to if his toddler kid decided to be naughty and hide the rooks. Forty dollars. You could buy quite a bit of food with that when your local grocery store (non-government owned, of course) has a big sale going on!

Relying on Australia….keeping the Solomons in our orbit
“Since the South Pacific nation switched diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China in 2019 and signed a wide-ranging security agreement with Beijing in 2022, whose details have not been made public, Australia has worked with the United States to counter China’s growing influence in the region.” https://english.kyodonews.net/articles/-/77221
Dear reporters,
If’n you’re gunna run a hit piece…it would behoove you not to use honour, Integrity and reverance as your cars paw for the audience.
It comes off as hilariously disingenuous. We the audience, remember you glorifying the import and beauty of the piss Christ, so you can just f right off.
Now an honest critique would draw upon an understanding of taste, construction, economy, and maybe even a test of the political tolerance for the structure.
The arch fails on every level, up to, but most certainly including the satanic liberty visage of Nike atop this literal pile of poop.
Less gaudy concrete, more fix the price of tomatoes you assholes.

Tomatoes are very easy to grow and there’s nothing like the taste of homegrown tomatoes. I never buy them in the grocery store anymore because those have no taste. I would send you some if I could, but I don’t think they’d make it all the way to Canada!

Far-left Southern Poverty Law Center reimbursed Klan members for cross-burnings: feds:
The Southern Poverty Law Center paid reluctant white nationalists and Ku Klux Klan members thousands of dollars in donor money to remain in the notorious hate groups — even making them whole for money spent on cross-burnings, the Justice Department alleged in a stunning superseding indictment filed Tuesday.
The feds initially charged the once-venerable civil rights organization in April with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a bank, and money laundering conspiracy. Tuesday’s superseding indictment, filed in Montgomery, Ala., federal court, lays out some of the stories of informants who were paid in money the SPLC raised from donors on the pretext of “exposing hate and injustice” and “fighting discrimination.”
Two Klan members, identified only as F-31 and F-32, came to the SPLC in 2010 in fear for their safety and wanting to leave the hate group, the indictment alleges. Instead of helping them find a way out, prosecutors say, the pair were paid $1,200 per month, plus expenses, via a shell corporation called Rare Books Warehouse to remain in the Klan.
President Donald Trump confirmed what many already believed about the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol Building.
During a Wednesday interview with the New York Post’s Miranda Devine, Trump affirmed that federal informants infiltrated the crowd that showed up to hear him speak and helped to incite violence at the Capitol building. “Just so you understand, these are people that have been decimated,” he said, referring to those who were railroaded over Jan. 6. “These are people that lost their lives over nonsense, where the FBI said, ‘go in, go in, police, go in, go into the van.’”
He continued, noting that many of the defendants “were supposed to serve five years, 10 years in jail” and that “people committed suicide.” “These were many great people,” Trump said. “And I gave them pardons. I’m very proud to have given them pardons. And I think they should be reimbursed for a crooked government.”
There were HUNDREDS of people from several different federal agencies stirring things up on J5 and J6. There were also a couple of hundred ANTIFA there. There was also a lot of plotting for months before. It doesn’t seem that the full truth about anything that day or before or after will ever come out despite the existence of video evidence that proves some of what happened. People who did nothing wrong were sentenced to 20 years in prison. Most were not allowed access to video evidence and other evidence that proved their innocence. The judges, lawyers, and juries were corrupt. The cases should have been thrown out because of the Brady violations. Barry Loudermilk, the chair of the committee that’s supposed to show the truth about J6, refused to meet with a few of the J6ers and their advocates who had hoped to give him a lot of information. Loudermilk and most people in Congress don’t want to know the truth. I am grateful that President Trump took the advice of Charlie Kirk and Julie Kelly in pardoning the J6ers. I hope that he will soon pardon the rest of them and that he will remove the terrorist code that was put into the system for many of them, including veterans who don’t have access to the VA until that code is removed. Many of the J6ers have lost their homes, their cars, their families, their jobs (and many of them cannot get jobs because of the lies that turn up on a Google search), and their life savings. I wish that someone could clearly explain the truth about everything that was done to so many innocent people who did nothing wrong and that the truth could reach everyone, but I realize that this isn’t going to happen.
